Synopsis
A panorama of Man Ray’s protean artistic output spanning film, assemblage, drawing and much more
Emmanuel Radnitzky, better known as Man Ray (1890–1976), occupies a prominent place in 20th-century art. Living at the heart of the Parisian artistic milieu, he participated in the innovative experiments of the Dadaists and Surrealists, met with painters, poets and intellectuals, and ultimately rose to fame for his portraiture. He developed a career as a fashion photographer, notably working with designers Paul Poiret and Elsa Schiaparelli. A tireless experimenter, he rediscovered the technique of “photograms”―which Tristan Tzara named “rayographs”―and developed “solarization” with Lee Miller in 1929.
Man Ray is renowned for having revolutionized the art of photography, but he was also a painter, draftsman, sculptor, writer and filmmaker. This monograph synthesizes his entire artistic oeuvre, including painting, sculpture, works on paper and more. The book is thematically divided by medium, and includes such fascinating projects as the Marquis de Sade paintings and cinépoémes. This true panorama of his work allows for a better comprehension of Man Ray’s creative process and the importance of his art.

Paperback. Condition: New. Man Ray (1890-1976) occupies a prominent place in 20th century art history. A versatile artist, he was a pioneer of modern art. His polymorphic work crosses all fields visuals: photography, assemblage, sculpture, painting, drawing, film.Man Ray arrived from New York in Paris in July 1921. Born in Philadelphia in 1890, of Jewish parents of Russian origin, Emmanuel Radintsky took a two-syllable pseudonym: "Man", man (short for Manny, his childhood nickname) and "Ray", the ray of light. Painter, draftsman, assembler of objects, in New York he frequents intellectual and artistic circles, discovers the European avant-gardes with his first wife who makes him discover French literature. He became friends with Marcel Duchamp, with whom he collaborates for artistic creations.This friendship will last all their lives. In connection with the movement European Dada, they publish the only issue of New York Dada, which attracted very little attention. Disappointed and disillusioned, Man Ray concludes that "Dada cannot live in New York". He only has one objective: to join Duchamp who has just returned to Paris. Seller Inventory # LU-9788836655656

Brossura. Condition: new. Évian-Les-Bains, Palais Lumière, July 1 - November 5, 2023.Edited by Rocca R. and Butzbach P.English Text.Cinisello Balsamo, 2023; paperback, pp. 232, 220 b/w ill., cm 24,5x30. Man Ray occupa un posto di rilievo nella storia dell'arte del XX secolo. Artista versatile, è meglio conosciuto come fotografo.Fu infatti uno dei primi ad utilizzare la fotografia, non come semplice mezzo di riproduzione, ma come vero e proprio mezzo creativo, trasformando la tecnica in una forma d'arte.Nato a Filadelfia (Pennsylvania) nel 1890, Emmanuel Radnitsky, detto Man Ray (come in un raggio di luce), ha partecipato attivamente ai circoli intellettuali e artistici di New York, scoprendo le avanguardie europee e stringendo amicizia con Marcel Duchamp che gli apre le porte del dadaismo e lo accoglie a Parigi nel luglio del 1921.Al centro della vita artistica parigina, ha partecipato agli innovativi esperimenti dei dadaisti e dei surrealisti, incontrando pittori, poeti e intellettuali e diventando famoso per i suoi ritratti. Affermatosi anche come fotografo di moda, in particolare per i designer Paul Poiret ed Elsa Schiaparelli, fu uno sperimentatore instancabile: riprese la tecnica dei "fotogrammi" (sagome astratte di oggetti) che Tristan Tzara chiamò "rayographs" e nel 1929, con il suo nuovo socio Lee Miller, sviluppò la tecnica della "solarizzazione". Tornato nel 1940 negli Stati Uniti, incontra Juliet Browner, che diventa sua moglie e musa ispiratrice. Di nuovo a Parigi nel 1951, vi visse fino alla sua morte nel 1976.Man Ray è noto per aver rivoluzionato l'arte della fotografia, ma è stato anche pittore, disegnatore, assemblatore di oggetti, scultore, scrittore e regista. È questo artista proteiforme che il volume vuole raccontare, attraverso un vero e proprio viaggio nelle sue opere, che permetterà di comprendere il processo creativo di Man Ray e l'importanza della sua arte.
